Wait... did Meta just launch an AI that already knows who you are — your favorite posts, your diet, even who you hang out with (Meta LlamaCon reveals all)? Let’s just say… ChatGPT might finally have real competition.

AI INSIGHTS
At its first-ever LlamaCon, Meta didn’t just show off new AI tools, it revealed its deeper plan: build an open-source AI ecosystem big enough to kill off the “closed AI” model that powers ChatGPT. One more thing: its new chatbot app comes with a social feed - like TikTok but for AI-generated chats.
Launch #1: Meta AI Chatbot App (Consumer-Facing)
A standalone chatbot app, positioned as a direct ChatGPT competitor.
Personalized replies based on your Meta activity (Instagram, Facebook, etc.).
A social-style Discover feed where users can share AI chats publicly — like scrolling AI memes or thoughts.
Launch #2: Llama API (Developer-Facing)
A new cloud-based API for accessing Llama models.
Designed to be plug-and-play: just one line of code to integrate.
Removes need for self-hosting or third-party cloud setups.
Meta’s direct shot at OpenAI’s developer ecosystem.
Meta’s not trying to beat OpenAI by building a smarter model — not yet. Instead, it’s playing a bigger game:
Win over devs with free tools.
Fuse AI and social, something OpenAI hasn’t done yet.
Control the narrative of open-source = innovation, and closed-source = restriction.
Court documents show Meta execs were obsessed with beating GPT-4. Zuckerberg: “Selling access to AI models isn’t our business model”. Zuckerberg publicly backs models like DeepSeek and Alibaba's Qwen. He calls them “allies” in the fight against closed AI providers.
Why It Matters: If Meta pulls this off, it could become the Android of the AI world - not necessarily the most powerful, but the most widely adopted and flexible. And if OpenAI launches a social product soon? You’ll know why.

AI CHART
Only 11% of U.S. adults say they’re more excited than concerned about AI. Among AI experts? That number jumps to 47%. So why the massive disconnect? A new survey by Pew Research Center (via Statista) just revealed the top AI fears from both the public and the experts — and the results show we’re not even worried about the same things.
🚨 Top Concerns from U.S. Adults
AI impersonating people – 78% (most feared)
Misuse of personal information – 71%
Job loss due to AI – 56%
Loss of social connection – 57%
People not understanding AI – 58%
→ These are personal, visible threats: scams, surveillance, isolation, and unemployment.
🧠 Top Concerns from AI Experts:
Misinformation from AI – 70% (top expert fear)
Impersonation – 65%
Privacy misuse – 60%
Job loss – only 25%
Loss of social connection – 37%
→ Experts are more focused on systemic risks like truth distortion and misuse of AI at scale.
What’s really going on? Experts work with AI daily. They understand its limits. The public mostly hears about AI through media stories, deepfake scandals, or job automation fears. Most people don’t want the “latest benchmark win”, they want safety, privacy, and job security.
→ AI won’t go mainstream until regular people feel heard, not just studied.
